Strange/unusual destinations programmed in the PIS

When I was travelling from Glasgow on Avanti, the announcements started saying stations on the Holyhead line. Pendos don't even go there never mind being the wrong route!

Pendolinos were regular visitors to Holyhead and North Wales for many years, dragged by locomotives.

When standing at Temple Mills (and presumably other depots) I've seen 745s with Berney Arms on the front as opposed to Not in Service

Seeing a 755 say Saxmundham at Norwich was an odd sight, though I didn't know that there is (or was) an Ipswich to Saxmundham service in the morning, so it has a reason to exist. Now been replaced with the somewhat silly Ipswich to Norwich via Beccles & Lowestoft service.

East Midlands Trains Class 158 Sprinter 158813 sits at Norwich with a service for Liverpool Lime Street. Note: the destination on the front.

Back in 2017, I got a picture of 158813 at Norwich showing the destination of Keith. The previous service it had worked was from Lowestoft when Greater Anglia borrowed an East Midlands 158 in the morning.

I seem to remember TfL's Aventras have voice lines for far away provincial backwaters such as Manchester Piccadilly

I saw a 345 passing Leighton Buzzard with Crewe as its destination on Thursday.
